Thanks for visiting my blog.  My name is Jerry Pettigrew and I am a missionary with New Tribes Mission.  I am headed for the field of Mozambique on December 29th. Mozambique is one of the newer fields in our mission organization.  Initially, I will be a part of  a language team in order to learn the national language – Portuguese.  This will allow me to communicate with nationals and become more involved with outreach in the city.  Learning the language will also allow me to help with some of the roles on the field such as survey work.  Currently we are serving in three tribal works and plan on serving in at least six more.  Conducting survey work helps us understand more about the culture and language of these different people groups.   There is also a sense of urgency for a missionary school.  There are more than fifty children from New Tribes and even more from other mission organizations.  Part of my vision for ministry is to teach at this missionary school.  Please continue to pray for me as I prepare for what “He” has planned for me in Mozambique.
